The Solar Nodes

[Guest guest]

Hello, everyone.

 

Technically speaking, the sun has no nodes, or so I discovered last night (or

was it earlier this morning? <g>).

 

While looking for material on the Lunar Nodes, I came across Llewellyn

George's observation that a node is a planet's intersection with the Ecliptic

-- and, obviously, the Sun can't intersect its own apparant path.

 

However, there is the fact that Noel Tyl placed great emphasis on the

location of " The Aries Point " in his _Astrological Timing of Critical

Illness_. We Siderealists refer to this point as the Synetic Vernal Point,

or SVP, currently located at 5*15' Sidereal Pisces (it's location is why

we're in the Age of Pisces). While it may not be a " real " node, it certainly

behaves like one -- and it was Tyl's book that started me thinking about

this. (On a personal note, my Sun and my triple Uranus-Jupiter-Ascendant

conjunction form a Grand Trine with the SVP -- naturally, I'd love to know

what this means, if anything)

 

I would also like to raise a related issue: why don't astrologers look at the

nodes of other planets besides the Moon's? Suppose you have a client whose

personality would indicate, say, some Mercury-Saturn interaction, but, in

their chart, there's just no indicators -- no aspect, no disposition, no

location in a ruled house, no midpoints, nothing. What if it turned out that

one planet aspected the other planet's nodes? I don't know of any software

or ephemeredes on non-lunar nodes, but I think this deserves investigation.
